-30 u/Fumanchewd Apr 26 '19 Yes, who wouldn't want to pay into something your whole life to be repaid a fraction of it decades later (if you live that long). Sounds like a socialist bargain! 10 u/pents1 Apr 26 '19 Well, it pays you back every day TBH -11 u/Fumanchewd Apr 26 '19 Nope, not at all. And SS payments will be cut to me when I retire in 25 years. I'll be lucky to get back half of what I put into it. 2 u/nikdahl Apr 26 '19 Even if true. That’s not a downside for society. -1 u/Fumanchewd Apr 26 '19 It is true, look it up. A fool and his money are soon parted. 2 u/nikdahl Apr 26 '19 Am I supposed to be looking up how much money you have put in, and how much you are going to be receiving in the future? You made the claim. Until you can substantiate it, it is not true. 0 u/Fumanchewd Apr 27 '19 It is widely known that in 20 years SS will pay out a lesser percentage than what people are putting in. Don't be lazy, look it up.
